This is my favorite Newport mansion (although the oldest houses intrigue me and I want to know more).

This is by Stanford White.

The reason I like it is the rear facade.

I'll link a picture.

It's French.

Surprised I like/ love it, but I do...

BTW, compare this to The Elms, looks kind of the same (?) but isn't...

Also French.

It has a different look (it's too much for me not to get distracted looking at exterior.

Rosecliff had a different vibe. Minimalist. Gleaming white marble but a dark, solemn interior.

I see no posts. Have noticed that the first post is missing from my screen on some other threads.

Lot's of internet/ phone issues with my devices lately.

Getting a land line account with 2 corded phones.

Tired of trying to talk on my cellphone and hanging up on the person because my screen came in brief contact with the side of my head.

I've noticed many of these Gilded Age mansions in Newport had dark interiors.

I like that. I think it's beautiful and elegant.

Darkness is a rare commodity when sunlight is so relentless imho.
